A Union Council or Village Council in Pakistan is an elected local government body consisting of 21 councillors, and headed by a Nazim. "Union Council" is the more generic term, whereas "Village Council" is used for rural areas. The territory represented by a Village Council usually comprises a large village and surrounding areas, often including nearby small villages. The term "Union Council" may be used for localities that are part of cities.

The territory of a Union Council or Village Council is usually part of a Tehsil (county). Less commonly, a Union Council may be part of a City District.
